Our new washing machine was delivered yesterday at 6:45 pm. Plumbed in in between taxiing my kids and now this morning it’s having its first run. I keep checking for leaks every few minutes as I can’t help myself.

Tomorrow is an exciting day, especially for the kids who have been having serious withdrawal symptoms: the broadband will be activated! Nearly two weeks broadband-less, and only using mobile data. My son had used all his data after about 3 days.

Admittedly, and for the first time ever, I’ve had to buy additional data, but then it’s my phone that’s been used as a personal hotspot more than anyone else’s.

My lady love remarked last night that it’s when you don’t have broadband that you realise how much you use it and rely on it everyday.

Dark outside rain has stopped
Pushing has started
One of our suppliers has been doing some trial runs on next year's price files and all their invoices are coming through with the wrong discount on , so when I rejected a load of them yesterday they had a moan about increasing the work load . I wonder if anyone else noticed

I can still remember one holiday in Weymouth a few years ago with my teenage daughter and one of her friends the internet only worked when you were sat around the kitchen table , if you went anywhere else in the house it didn't work , they couldn't wait to get reconnected with normal service

It has been funny listening to the kids. Firstly, talking about living in the Stone Age (really?!) and then planning which games/videos/other they are going to watch/play when the broadband is connected.

Of course, they are relying on me to tell them when it’s been connected… mwah ha ha ha ha…

Morning .
I've just looked out of our window and it looks dark . Our cars are wet but the ground looks dry . I think the sky must be overcast as I can't see any light gaps in the sky . I will be able to judge what's going on when it gets a bit lighter .

Years ago I plumbed our washing machine in and like you I kept checking the joints to see that they were okay . Came downstairs and went to our back place where the washing machine was to discover a lake ! It was about an inch deep ! One of the compression joints wasn't fully tightened up !
Not as bad as BIL . They had an upstairs flat . Their washing machine had the pipe going into the sink. They went off to work leaving the washing machine to do it's business . I assume that during one of the cycles the pipe must have dropped off . It flooded their flat and the flat below !

Whenever they show people on the TV speaking from home with a bookshelf in the background I find that I can't stop myself trying to see what the books are !

Still dark and heavy rain forecast with a brisk wind.
Just heard a rumbling noise outside and the bin lorry is busy. Good job I put mine out yesterday.
My New Year trip may be off as DIL has positive LFT and has to go for a further more comprehensive test today at 0800. If that is positive they all have to isolate for 10 days. By the time we find out all the ferry places may have gone anyway to all the tourists here for Christmas going home.
Email tells me a gift voucher has been applied to my Amazon account. Really! Delete.

Have you ever tried the Seville Orange caramels in the Thorntons continental selection? Oh man, they're lush!

I'm not overly keen on Quality Street in general. Or Roses for that matter. They're all too sweet.

I've been sent home. Because of bleeding nose. Fookin bleeding nose. Which has been sorted out in 5 minutes.
Bleeding nose. Still cannot believe it.
Rant over.
But I'm still fuming.
Bleeding nose ... really?

How's the other person?
What was it, you were chasing someone who'd climbed the perimeter fence and they "accidentally" ran into something. But, owing to your close pursuit, you couldn't stop before you collided with them!!

So long as you get paid, they sent you home.

I'm getting to the end of a tube of toothpaste. It might just get me through tonight, it might not. Perhaps I should just bin it and start a fresh one to save that struggle of getting what remnants of paste there are to the nozzle. But I know I'll do the struggling thing anyway....

Why has it taken 2 weeks to get your internet connected?

I wish Mr Cookiemonster would get his ass home as dinner will be ruined.

He's out in the wilds of Northern Hong Kong. Has the MTR kidnapped him?
